Why is there 2x Andras in the thumbnail

[@ChessCoachAndras]

😂😂😂

[@chickenmessiah]

Because he’s twice as beautiful. Of course.

[@eschiedler]

Subscribed to both coaches. Definitely a "banger" of a collab.

[@mauriziot3272]

What a banger,can’t wait to see it until the end

[@ShaShaSha534]

This is an awesome collaboration. These are the two best chessable course authors, no question.

[@chimbiepaladin4629]

Agreed.

[@lindell7318]

my 2 favourite chess coaches

[@broncer7000]

Love pedagogical discussion

[@Socrates...]

Please do more of these videos with both of you involved. Really great

[@davidmchugh7264]

Dr can and Andros are great chess coaches ....

[@TikariChess]

Could watch these all day.

What a brilliant video. Btw, you're totally right at 39:16. Noticed that so many times. In my case the gap between rapid and blitz rating is 200-250 points (got interested in chess 5 years ago at the age of 20)

[@risingmojofilter]

Stared playing chess in my 30s. The discrepancy between blitz and rapid is real. For a long time the gap was more than 400 rating points for me. After extreme focus on training tactics by doing puzzles I was able to get the gap down to about 150 rating points (1700 rapid, 1550 blitz), but have never been able to close it entirely. It's the time to think thing. I simply do not have time to work out the lines in blitz. I think it's because I don't calculate fast enough, which is one of the reasons I've focused so much on the puzzles. The more puzzles I do, the more chunks I memorize, the more shortcuts I can take during calculating and the faster I calculate. That's my logic. Anyway, enjoyed the video. Some very useful positions to study in there. Hope to see more collabs!

[@vandammesque]

Great learning gems here gents!

[@ChessCoachAndras]

Glad you liked it!

[@chickenmessiah]

I tried to come up with an analogy, but these two are simply the best on line coaches you could have up to 2000. If I could only get the high school team that I coach to forget the eval on their phone and listen to the thinking process given here, we’d win everything in our grasp.

[@doctorh1llbilly]

More inspirational content from the Boss

[@rockatanescu]

Four minutes in and already a banger of a move with Rd1!

[@juri_lrf6662]

amazing amazing video

[@michaelf8221]

I got completely called out at around 40:00 when you said that I look for safer moves more than I should. I don't snag the initiative as well as I should when it's unclear but I have a statically good position that I can fall back on

[@ChessCoachAndras]

@@michaelf8221 identifying that you are guilty is the hardest part! The rest is easy fix👌💪🔥

[@GaryWalters-tk2lp]

Great collaboration and thoroughly enjoyed, between the two of you you somehow seemed to bridge the knowledge gap from beginner/advanced beginner to advanced intermediate/advanced very much appreciated.

[@ChessCoachAndras]

@@GaryWalters-tk2lp happy you like it, we enjoyed recording it too

[@rockatanescu]

Coach, the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things is called "apophenia". That's not limited just to humans, animals such as chickens or dogs or cats will tend to repeat the behavior that had a favorable outcome even though that outcome happened by chance (Skinner's box experiment).

[@ChessCoachAndras]

Thanks, glad to see my suspicion was correct!

[@siraf1234]

Actually Mr. Andras, today I coincidentally stumbled upon the Nh8-f7 reroute in the game Najdorf - Gligoric 1953, so I assume Fischer was familiar with this game and used the same pattern in his game against Korchnoi

[@ChessCoachAndras]

Fair enough!

[@shawnkmetz521]

Hey Andras, when do you stream? I've logged into twitch the last 4 Sunday's at 8 when the schedule says you'll be there but you never stream, but new content keeps appearing here!

[@DreamWizard9]

So you like the Slav with Black, but dislike the Colle/London with White. How is that possible? It looks like the same almost? (with an extra tempo)

[@ChessCoachAndras]

@@DreamWizard9 good question, answered it already elsewhere too, but happy to elaborate: with black, that’s one of the best you can do, with white it is easily the least ambitious… hence the like/ dislike . Also most extra tempo with white openings are considered similarly unambitious , such as reverse Dutch , reverse pirc, etc etc .

[@adityakumarmishra6952]

Hi coach just wondering how would you suggest a 1600 go about learning the ruy lopez with its entire labyrinthine variations (for context I'm playing it and learning it together) But it's a different beast with all its nuances in different moveorders and all the early Bc5 and b5 does me in :'( Edit: For context my goal of learning this is to *understand* the soul of the position and what is really going on in every variation, rather than learning moves and theory, and I find in this the Spanish is the richest.

[@Sacmater]

Twentyhundred?

[@ChessCoachAndras]

?

[@matthewhull9415]

20 x 100 is 2,000 - I assume in Hungarian that’s the naming convention

[@ChessCoachAndras]

@@matthewhull9415 No , in Hungarian we don't say it like that. The Germans do, among others. But it is not unheard of in English at all.

[@dimebagdonny]

@ChessCoachAndras Andras, I like these collaboration videos. You and Dr. Can remind me of Generals George Patton and Omar Bradley. I think the Psychological phenomenon you're referring to on 26:38 is 'Operant Conditioning.' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning

[@ChessCoachAndras]

@@dimebagdonny glad you enjoyed the video, I certainly had a blast!
